2014 Volvo XC60

The backup camera image flickers or does not appear at all (blue screen). This is a known design defect that Volvo will repair by installing what they call an equalizer in the camera harness. It is not a replacement of an existing part, it is a part they add. The cost is several hundred dollars for something that should be a recall. A search on the internet will return results showing many others having this exact same problem. This has been occuring and getting worse for the past 8 years.

When I purchased my 2014 Volvo XC 60 I was told that it was in good overall condition and believe that after driving it for the vehicle in full and brought it back because it needed a current inspection. Within four days of taking it home after the inspection, the PCV valve went bad and I had a minor leak in the middle center top of the windshield that dripped in and left watermarks on my headliner. So again I called the dealer and explained to them what was going on. I took it back they corrected the PCV valve and said that they had my windshield Repaired and sealed by a professional windshield installer. Once again, I picked up my new car and I went home with it. The first rainstorm we got the inside of my car was flooded to the point where it shorted out my sunroof switch so now I can use my sunroof and there is mildew smell all through my car , floorboard on the driver side side gets soaked along with everything else from about the center all the way to the left and down the side of the windshield I feel that more than half of that windshield is not secured properly in there and sealed and could lead to serious injury to myself or possibly Someone else. I have reached out to them several times And after I picked it up when they stated everything was fixed and good to go, it was nothing but a nightmare my Car has a massive leaking windshield around more than 50% of it at least. I contacted the auto dealer once again and explained what was going on and how severe the situation had become. The service manager assured me that they work on the windshield was guaranteed and under warranty and he had a switch on hand to Replace my control switch for my sunroof and that he would contact their windshield guy and get him back there to make it right at no cost to me. In addition he said he would also supply me the loaner so I would not be without a car until mine was definitely fixed and ready, that was the last I heard from them and that was almost 3 weeks ago

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AGO, I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH I USE WHEN I PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT'S SLANTED. WELL AFTER THE FIRST TIME I DISENGAGED IT WENT TO DRIVE AND HEARD A WEIRD NOISE WHEN COMING TO A STOP WHICH ONLY GOT WORSE. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT THAT THE E-BRAKE NEVER FULLY DISENGAGED ON THE RIGHT SIDE ONLY.
